Presbymergent Blog
July 9, 2007 – 11:44 am | by Duncan
Presbymergent.org is an online community for those involved in the Presbyterian (USA) church and in the Emergent conversation. The site was started at the end of January, in anticipation of the Mainline Emergent event at Columbia Theological Seminary on Theology, Practice and Hope.
The Presbymergent blogging community is growing under the editorial leadership of Karen Sloan, Jim Bonewald (thechurchgeek), Jan Edmiston (A Church for Starving Artists), Neal Locke (www.mrlocke.net), Seth Thomas, Adam Walker Cleaveland (pomomusings.com), and Brian Wallace (Wally World).
Just this last week Neal Locke has written up his reflections on Postmodernism and Perl computer language, engaging with a talk by of Larry Wall, the author of Perl. The transcript of the talk (1999) is online at www.perl.com. Neal has abridged the talk at his Wiki site and made connections with the emerging church scene.
It’s encouraging to see a group of mainline emergent bloggers keeping the conversation going, not only online, but also live in what they’re calling Presbymergent Parties. The same group’s hosting a Presbymergent Facebook Group as well.
